Well this is my point. Why has it been just now that it was released as opposed to HDDVD movies which have had it for a while? Has HDDVD been out longer or what?
Yes.
Also, Toshiba was able to unilaterally define features, whereas BR group was more of a coalition. The first HD DVD player was basically an HTPC to allow them the ability to tweak the standard.
In that case it makes more sense to stream a rental from Xbox Live or iTunes.
I think it's going that way, someone would have to be in denial to ignore that inevitability.
Still, I'm very happy with BR, and it's still less expensive through Netflix, even considering the current crunch Netflix users are experiencing. Given my home theater display, I'm probably not going to like the current version of iTunes movie rentals, but I might use it on occasion within a year.
It still does what you bought it for. If it's a nice unit and you're happy then don't worry. The worst case scenario is that they stop producing HD DVD content and you can't buy any more of it. You can still watch your existing collection and regular DVDs.
Had this happened the other way around and it was Blu Ray on the losing end, those that spent the monsy on BR players and content would probably be out more money overall.

As Solipsism suggested, netflix does indeed rent HD DVDs. They're inexpensive and worth trying. I use them and rent Blu Ray titles from them quite a bit in addition to regular DVDs.

yea im thinking of switching of to blue ray it seems the way to go
Keep in mind that HD-DVD has a hard time fitting full uncompressed audio and video on one HD-DVD. Blu-ray can pull this off easily, unless it's a very long movie. It's not just about the special features... in fact HD-DVD is ahead in special features.

Current Blu-ray Players Won't Play Upcoming BD Disc Features
Don't rush out and buy a BD player just yet.

Depends on whether people care. Most don't. They just want to watch the movie.

As far as I know, you can do that as well, if I get your meaning.
The format wars.
1. VHS vs. Beta-Max
2. DVD vs. Laser DIsc
3. HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray
If I'm not mistaken, I believe laser disc was also a Sony format.. Yeah, they deserve a win!

I rent HD DVD and Blu Ray through Netflix.
Blockbuster also has a similar program that rents both. Their stores might not have them but they're mailed to you from a warehouse.
So you can stick with HD DVD for as long as the discs are avilable for rent.
